Anybody know of a good way to package Python code as a desktop app?

Platypus will do it for the Mac, I think. Dunno about the others.

EDIT: ... but I'm not sure it actually includes Python in with the app unless you tell it to.

Yeah, xkcd mentioned something like that. (Was your friend eventually driven as stark raving mad as the title text claims? tongue )

No, but he couldn't stick to it very long, just a few weeks I think.

How sleepy do you get at night? I usually call it quits once I find myself refreshing my email/the Scratch Forums more than actually coding. wink

(I just took a self-imposed 36 hour computer break, and ended up spending the day reading xkcd on my iPad, playing Cut the Rope, watching TV and walking around in circles. I tried to play badminton with my dad, but the shuttle fell down and I got more exercise taking the stairs to get it than actually playing. I think that's a bad thing. hmm )

I finished my (prototype for a) text-based Snap! language: https://googledrive.com/host/0B8jDsHSM5 … 0snap.html smile

Tell me if there are any spelling mistakes in the syntax explanation or bugs in the actual program.

It varies — usually past about 11ish I realise I'm making ridiculously stupid mistakes, and have to give up. But the other night I stayed up 'til 3am hacking on kurt quite happily (though it was really trivial interface stuff, just copying attributes of kurt 1 objects onto kurt 2 ones and back).

I've heard night is better because there are no distractions. But I'm not sure 3am every night is maintainable. Any tips for staying awake the next morning, other than coffee?

I just took a self-imposed 36 hour computer break...

tongue I gave up worrying about it long ago...

Which platform? There's Py2EXE for Windows, and Py2app for Mac, I think.

When you talk (twice) about how to get a backslash into a value, you say "escape it twice." I'm guessing you probably mean "enter it twice." Escaping twice would mean a total of three backslashes!

Otherwise this looks very cool.

Ok, I'll fix that when I'm using my computer (I'm posting from w phone right now)

Otherwise this looks very cool.

Thanks! smile

I felt like some easy coding, so I made a version of scratchblocks2 with Snap! blocks. It even has multi-arg arrows on the "list" and "script variables" blocks, for no very good reason! And I still haven't figured out how to do fancy things like rings; I need to have a good look at joefarebrother's prototype tongue

@Technoboy10 I saw you were thinking about making a snapblocks fork! If you like, I'll push this stuff to Github for you to finish up, and we can have it in scratchblocks2 as a hidden option — I'm thinking a comment at the beginning to enable "Snap! mode":
// Snap!

EDIT: note that the screenshot shows a dropdown inside a custom block, which I don't believe Snap! even allows...

Can't you do some magic and get sharp corners on the booleans? Please? smile

EDIT: Remember, I got pure CSS hexagons for the ill-fated Hex competition. wink

I... tried... -_-

EDIT: so, yeah: if you can do it, go ahead! big_smile The DOM elements do actually have a "boolean" class, so all you need to do is modify the CSS wink

Okay, here you go. At the moment it has the following changes from master:
* the snap.html page loads snap.txt and replaces the Scratch ones using the scratchblocks2.blocks interface
* the parser accepts a "// Snap!" comment on the first line, which turns obsolete blocks into grey ones
* blocks tagged ## -multi-arg are shown with the little < > arrows

Ideally:
a) the blocks in snap.txt would be moved into scratchblocks2.js, but only loaded if we're in "Snap! mode"
b) there would be a "Snap! mode"

Have fun! tongue

I used blocks lambda, lambda!, and lambda? that turn into rings.

Instead they teach how great everything is and how you should just wave the flag and not criticize.
See, that's exactly why social studies is the greatest subject in school, because it provokes you into disagreeing with your teacher, and that's where you really learn something for life (and about Civil Rights).

Should kurt allow float position values for sprites, watchers, etc?
